Health is a Choice.
I
believe that health is of infinite value. My mission is to
provide excellence in dentistry in a low volume, private care
environment, which is characterized by individual relationships
between a member of my team and the patient. These relationships are
built on trust, as well as shared goals and visions. I believe
that when given accurate information and the right support in a
nurturing environment, people will make choices that have a positive
effect on their dental health. Through exploring the needs and
wants of the patient, I help to set goals for a lifetime plan. This
lifetime plan cultivates an interdependent relationship, by which
the patient assumes responsibility for his own
health. I believe that "It
is more noble to give of yourself completely for one individual,
than to slave diligently for the masses". --Dag
Hammerschold
About My
Logo: This pyramid stands for the philosophy of
wholeness. It is looking to the cause of problems rather than simply
treating only the disease. The three points of the pyramid stand for
body, mind, and spirit. There must be a relationship created that
takes into account the whole person when helping people become
healthy. This logo represents my commitment to my goal to help each
patient need the least amount of dental care over their lifetime.
With this philosophy, I can help you achieve the goals that you set
for yourself pertaining to your health. This pyramid represents
being future-focused so you can prevent disease from happening and
take control of your health instead of leaving it up to fate or
luck. By entering into a coaching relationship with you, I can help
you to become as healthy as you would like to be.
In traditional dentistry, little time is
spent on creating a plan to help prevent future disease. It just
concentrates on the disease of the day. I find that with this
strategy people are fooled and misled. They go to the dentist but
continue to have more problems until this spiral creates major
problems, (i.e. loss of teeth). Patients often ask how this could
happen if they go to the dentist every six months. There must be an
equal sharing of responsibility to gain and keep health. There must
be a plan that is created by you, the patient, with the help of my
team and me. It does not happen by accident. Good dental health
cannot be purchased by the rich nor given to the poor.
